With summer on it's way and many people yearning for some sun and fun in their lives, many of us need the necessities to look and feel good. Summer is the time to have fun with friends and be adventurous; however, makeup melting, smudy mascara and sticky glosses are not beneficial among that. Here are the 5 makeup essentials required to ensure your summer is less of a sticky mess: 1) Moisturiser Moisturiser is a must for travelling as it helps to keep your skin smooth, prevents your pores from getting clogged and is the first crucial step for any makeup routine. It prevents skin from drying out, which you don’t want to happen when you want to enjoy the sunshine. Oil-free moisturisers are great for hot destinations to ensure you have a protective barrier on your skin. A beneficial moisturiser for summer is Nivea’s Daily Essentials sensitive day cream which contains SPF 15; great for protection from sun damage on your holiday. This moisturiser is perfume-free which reduces redness and dryness. It also includes grape seed oil to help provide intensive moisture; great for dry and sensitive skin for a soothing complexion. For £2.19, this is a must for the travel bag. 2) Setting Spray Setting spray is the base of what keeps your makeup lasting for the whole day. No one wants makeup dripping from their face and all the hard work of looking good to disappear. Setting spray helps to shield the face, even on the hottest and sweatiest days to refresh and glow the skin. It prevents you from blotting and powdering every hour; therefore, is a must for travelling. Urban Decay’s All Nighter is a popular spray used amongst influencers such as Jeffree Starr and Bretman Rock. This spray is suitable for all skin types which lasts up to 16 hours to protect makeup in hot and humid weather. The result? Bright and vibrant makeup to last all day (and night). The spray doesn’t include any oils and is lightweight to take anywhere. The spray comes in 30ml (perfect size for travelling) for £10. 3) Bronzer Elegant, luscious skin is what all travellers want whilst on holiday for a sun-kissed look. It’s primary use is to add warmth to the skin and is a beneficial way to look radiant and healthy. Whether you are at the beach, at a summer party or relaxing by a pool; these bronzers are great for that golden look. This bronzer is a drugstore favourite as it is scented with a delicious chocolate scent (yum). The Bourjois Delice de Poudre bronzing powder comes in three shades and has an ultra-smooth texture. The powder also includes little specks of gold infused within the chocolate sized blocks for a subtle, but dewy look. Great for an evening shine at dinner or an evening stroll along the beach; for £7.99, why wouldn’t you want a bronzer packaged like a chocolate bar? 4) Concealer There’s nothing worse than your undereyes being exposed in the sun when you’re wearing a lot of makeup. In the summer, you need a concealer which will stay put and not look cakey in order to tackle sweat, sun and watery eyes. It is important to have a long-wearing concealer that reduces under-eye bags, but makes your skin look uplifting. At £9, the NYX Born to Glow Radiant Concealer comes in 24 shades which includes micro pearl-infusion to add radiance and brighten complexions. The concealer is cruelty-free and includes a built-in blender so you can dab and blend on the go. Since it provides customisable coverage, you can decide if you want to use it as a contour concealer or to reduce blemishes. 5) Mascara Everyone needs a mascara that is waterproof to prevent smudy eyes and black tears running down your face. You want to ensure that you can go to the beach without having to worry about ugly crying. In order to keep your lashes in tact and looking pristine, mascara is needed in your travel items. A mascara that won’t make you have panda eye is Two Faced’s Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara which costs £12. It includes an enriched formula to curl, thicken and lengthen lashes to last all day. The formula has collagen to provide smudge-proof wear even in the hottest conditions. A good mascara is dependent on it’s brush, with this one shaped like an hourglass to ensure no lash is left behind. These makeup items are essential for summer to ensure you look and feel good without having to stress about how you will look at the end of the day. These items are great for travelling and have the formulas to tackle sweat, humidity, wind, snow; you name it. AuthorPriyanka Patel - Editor for AURA
